Jay Nixon: Another Day, Another Photo-Op

He recently attended (yet another) groundbreaking ceremony, this time for a John Deere facility in Strafford, MO.

For a project that will create a grand total of 55 jobs.

Over 5 years.

Yes, the Governor showcased his unmatched economic prowess by attending a groundbreaking for a project that will create 11 jobs a year.

Eleven.

Thousands of jobs are what Missourians needs. Tens of thousands of jobs. And now.

Eleven jobs a year is infinitesimal in comparison to the actual needs of our state. And yet there Jay Nixon stands, claiming credit for every single job he can squeeze in front of a camera for.

Jay Nixon’s incessant addiction to limelight in his ongoing attempt to fake Missouri’s economic situation into productivity is not just sad and petty; it’s distracting from the real work he needs to do to bring Missouri back to a level of prosperity.
